I Saw The Death... Poem by Mohammad Younus

I saw the Death, ...
...and she was standing besides my bed,
By quiet entrance in the COVID ward at SKIMS,
I saw the doors of heaven were set ajar,
And there houris were singing reception song...
...as told by God,
Come into the eternal garden, come out of the prison,
You'll live here for ever in my presence,
You'll never see here the disgusting traces of your past,
In this garden of Eden, you'll never sight,
The infatuating eyes that delighted you on the earth,
My dear, look at the blissful light and listen the mellow tunes,
Live for ever here, nearest to me, without any curtain in between,
Farewell the somber world, where your life was never cheering,
I'm pleased with you that you constantly remembered me there,
Farewell, farewell at once:
The dazzling sun, and the azure skies,
The beloved hills, the roaring brooks, and the singing birds,
You, mourn not, the fleeting and flimsy world,
Here you'll live in peaceful shades of divinity, certain
